Weevils, aphids, beetles, and mites can call be the bane of any home garden, because these insects will eat away at plants, often at an alarming rate once they’ve made a home for themselves on your property. If you are noticing that insects are destroying the hard work you’ve put into your garden, you can reclaim your space and get rid of your pest problem by seeking out the right landscaping services. Here is a closer look at the steps you and your landscaping professional should take.

Identify the Pests

Different insects will damage gardens in various ways, and they will also be attracted—and deterred—by specific features. Therefore, you’ll want to be sure that you’ve accurately identified the perpetrating pest so that you can better prepare what you need to fight back.

Clean Up Your Yard

Insects may be more attracted to yards where there are piles of wood, unswept leaves, and other spots of clutter, because they will have plenty of places to hide. If you’re dealing with any type of pest problem in your yard, take the time to clean up any clutter, cut grass and weeds, and trim back vines and bushes. This can dramatically alter the habitat that insects have become accustomed to, and it may be a great step in getting them out of your yard.

Consider Pest Control Solutions

You might be quick to reach for pesticides, or you may want a more natural pest control solution that will deter insects rather than kill them outright. Working with a landscaping company will allow you to review all your options so that you are comfortable with your pest control solutions and you know that they are working properly.
